Ray Dalio on India's Growth Potential
Ray Dalio, a famous investor, thinks India is in a great position right now.
He says the world is changing, and India has what it needs to grow a lot in the next ten years.
This includes things like good infrastructure and smart people.
He compares India's current situation to China's 30 years ago, which was a time of big growth.
Dalio also talks about five big forces that shape the world: money and debt, politics, international rules, natural events like floods, and technology.
He believes the world is moving away from cooperation to competition, and countries are trying to be less dependent on each other.
Neutral countries might do well in this new situation.
